You’ve been waiting months and months—perhaps several years, for a kidney transplant from a deceased donor. The meter’s running, the clock’s ticking and each additional day puts our hopes and dreams at risk. You’ve been told to ask their family and friends for help, but you are reluctant to say anything at all without more insight and guidance.
The Problem: It is a known fact that receiving a transplant before dialysis is optimal, yet the number of people waiting and the average wait is squelching outcomes. End Stage Renal Disease ESRD patients depend on their nephrologists and transplant centers to introduce proactive strategies that can help them secure a better and longer life. Sadly, most patients are devoid of this insight.
Education Voids & Timing of Delivery. ESRD patient education is often delayed until the patient is nearing their final stages of their disease continuum, when clear-thinking and the ability to make informed-decisions can be greatly challenged. To make matters worse, option comparisons and mortality truths are left unspoken.
Outcome Challenges. How can best outcomes be achieved when transplant eligible patients have been left in the dark about their proactive role in securing their best quality of life? There is a huge difference between life tethered to a dialysis machine and life as a transplant recipient. Sadly, most patients are unaware of the differences—including dialysis mortality rates and years gained from a preemptive (live-donor) transplant.

Patients Need to Know That Getting a Transplant From a Living Donor is not a “Click-Your-Heels” Ruby-Slipper Kind of Thing. It takes courage and a lot of time—and a passionate commitment to educate others and increase awareness for all those in need. Most patients often think it’s easier to start dialysis and wait for a deceased donor’s kidney. What they don’t realize is “time on dialysis” works against health outcomes. Likewise, the longer they’re on dialysis, the greater the risk of developing other serious health issues that can often disqualify them from ever receiving a transplant. It’s important for patients to recognize early on, that their upfront efforts can offer additional years of better health and joy.
